The moment Nina heard Lucian's voice, she immediately closed the tab where she was searching for Jasper's symptoms and opened a spreadsheet."What?" She rolled her eyes at him. "What were you saying?" He growled."Why should I tell you, dude?" She glared at him."Because I am your husband," he proudly replied."So what?" She mimicked."Why are you so tough?" He scoffed."Because you are a bastard," she replied. But then, the next moment she realised what she said. She wanted to avoid him, but she couldn't as the next moment he walked towards her.The moment he reached her, she was about to run away, but she couldn't as he held her wrist and pulled her close. With Lucian's pull, Nina bumped into Lucian's chest with a bump. "Leave me," she struggled to get out of his grip."What did you say? I am a bastard?" He grinned."Leave," she didn't even hear him as she was too involved in her struggle.Lucian looked at her, struggling to get away from him and this angered him more. He held her
That voice gave Nina chills down her spine. It was the same person who had forcefully entered her house that day."I am sorry," her voice choked."For what? Enjoying your married life?" The caller taunted."Please, please, listen to me, I will do whatever you have said. I won't let my married life interrupt that. It's just..." She cried."It's just that? Do you remember that video girl?" The caller asked.The moment Nina heard those words, a drop of tear rolled down through her eyes. The fear in her eyes was something so different from usual. It was the kind of fear that Lucian could never imprint on her."Yes, yes I remember," she sobbed."Then hurry up, girl or else," the caller threatened her about something."No ma'am I would hurry up. I will do whatever you have told me. You need not worry," she pleaded."Good and I should receive regular updates," the caller warned her and then hung up the call.The moment the call was disconnected, Nina kept her phone aside and then started cry
"I can't understand. Ghost? Lucian? What are you saying, Nina?" Jasper was totally confused by Nina's words."Yeah, he has been acting so weird. Totally the opposite of his behaviour and Lucian behaving like that isn't possible at all. So I am sure a ghost must have possessed him," Nina pouted."What did he do now?" He questioned her.Nina took out the letter and forwarded it to him. He took it from her and started reading it."When I woke up, I found medicines and this on the table next to the bed. Lucian Frederick is saying sorry to me? No matter his sorry sounds like a favour but still, it's sorry. And then when I got out from the shower, I saw him setting up a different bed for me in the room. I mean, suddenly a bed? All he wanted was to sleep with me on the same bed, make me submit to him, then this? He can't be this generous, a ghost has possessed him," she complained."Wow, I am speechless", Jasper replied after reading the letter.But deep inside Jasper felt good, that Lucian
"Why are you raising your voice on me?" Nina questioned, making a puppy face. The alcohol affected her and she was intoxicated now. "Why I shouldn't? How can you think about sending Jasper to a psychologist?" Lucian growled? He felt angry at the fact that Nina asked such a thing from him.Nina felt scared due to Lucian's tone. She poured another glass of bourbon and gulped it in one go. Lucian was astonished as he witnessed her drinking so much. "Why are you drinking so much?" He couldn't help but ask."Because you're making me crazy, and after what you did yesterday, I am scared to say anything to you. What if you hurt me again. I am delicate, you shouldn't hurt me like that. Even an ant bite makes me cry and you made me unconscious," she complained.Her tone and way of talking had completely changed indicating that the alcohol had intoxicated her completely."You deserved that because you hurled abuses on me," Lucian growled, but then he realises what he said so he looked away.
"But, I don't care. The only thing I care about right now is Jasper would get treatment," A smile appeared on Nina's face.She didn't know why, but the amount of happiness she felt whenever she thought about the betterment of Jasper, was something different. She understood that it's not just friendship that they have, their dynamics have changed to a great extent and Nina didn't mind that. She felt like even if the dynamics have changed between them, it's for the good. Because Jasper had the qualities of the man that she wanted for herself.She didn't waste a single moment and ran towards Jasper's room. She knocked on the door and after a few moments, Jasper opened the door."Nina?" He was surprised to see Nina in this messy condition. She just woke up and rushed to him."Jasper I have great news for you," she couldn't control her excitement anymore."What news?" Jasper looked confused."I will tell you, but first, let's get inside," she replied."Okay," he nodded and both of them wal
Nina gulped thinking about the hallucinations that Jasper had and even after having so much trouble suffering from it, he didn't mention it to Dr Issac.But she knew that to Jasper get treated properly, she would have to mention things that he didn't mention about.She turned towards Issac."Actually, Doctor. Jasper haves hallucinations. Those hallucinations are so strong that they can even alter his reality and I have no idea why Jasper didn't mention about it," Nina sighed."It's okay, Mrs Frederick. Many people who hallucinate things, don't even understand that they are hallucinating, so that's might be the reason," Dr Issac replied."Oh, okay," Nina nodded."But, can you inform me what are his hallucinations about?" Dr Isaac asked."It's like, he hallucinates his dead girlfriend way too much," Nina muttered. And Nina told Dr Issac everything she knew about Jasper's hallucinations. After listening to everything, Dr Issac sighed."Okay, so first of all we have to conduct a few tes
"Your brother's keeper? What do you mean by that?" Nina kept her laptop aside and looked at Lucian in absolute confusion."Okay, I know this is something shitty, and in fact, I don't know why am I doing this, but there are two things I want to be honest about. First, I love my brother, yeah we have a ton of issues between us, some of which won't solve ever, but still, the way you explained to me about Jasper's condition, I had a minimum idea of what he is going through and still that haunted me... I don't know... From what else he is suffering... But I don't want him to suffer much and... And that's why I want him to get better... I want him to recover from whatever... Whatever the shit he is suffering from," Lucian answered.Nina could sense Lucian's sentiments when he was saying those words. Although she couldn't sense the feelings of love that an older brother has for his younger one, still, she could feel that deep down somewhere, Lucian cared for Jasper."And second, I want you t
Nina was trying to sleep, but she couldn't. She had so many things in her head that it made her restless, eating away her sleep. She got up from the bed."God! Why can't I sleep?" She muttered, frustrated.Her eyes then fell on Lucian who was snoring loudly and the sounds of the snore were echoing in the room. "So, the monster snores," she rolled her eyes. She stood up and walks towards Lucian's bed. He was sleeping peacefully and it felt like even an atomic explosion could wake him up now."He sleeps like a dinosaur," she giggled and then walked out of the room. As she got out, she was surprised. The entire mansion was silent as if no one lived here. She hasn't seen it in such a silence earlier so it made her think that is something wrong here."Where's everyone? Guards always stroll this place then," she looked here and there in search of guards.Yes, she didn't like the place because of obvious reasons but she knew that she had to live here for at least a few months even if she
2 weeks later Nina's old apartment, "I am going to meet Lucian today," Nina spoke as she was getting ready for office. "Lucian? Don't you have work today?" Jasper asked as he stood in front of her. "I have. I will meet him after work," Nina answered. "But baby, your therapy sessions?" His tone was concerned. "I can miss one. I am feeling better, I will move on, don't worry," she answered with a smile. "He was the reason for your trauma and because of him you have to go for therapy," he spoke in an irritated tone. "I know and that's why I have to go. We need closure, Jas," Nina tried to make him understand. Jasper nodded and then mildly smiled. "Okay. But if anything goes wrong, you will call me," he told her. "Do you think anything can go wrong?" Nina curiously asked her. "Nah, he is a changed man now," Jasper smiled. "He is," she nodded. In the Prison Nina was waiting in the meeting room when Lucian arrived. "Hey," Nina smiled uncomfortably. "Hey," Lucian responded
The policemen slowly started approaching Lucian's mansion. Since Lucian was a mafia, he had three-level security of guards and anyone would have to cross these three levels of security to enter. Cctv cameras, more than fifty armed guards, a group of bouncers and many other. The security level wasn't this high earlier but it had to be increased after Edward attacked Nina. Now the police force had to cross these security levels without giving a single hint to Lucian about their arrival, they didn't want him to run away. So they slowly snuck into the property, killing the guards from behind and hiding from the cameras. It was tough, but it wasn't impossible for them because they had been trained in such a way. On the other hand, Jasper approached Mohit with a hammer in his hand. Rebecca was scared but she couldn't do anything as Lucian and Nina had tied her up. Nina and Lucian looked worried about Jasper's upcoming actions and both of them just prayed for one thing, this doesn't aris
2 police vans stopped near the hideout area of Lucian's mansion. All the policemen got down from the van slowly without making much noise. They were armed and fully prepared to attack. "Listen, we all will have to get low and proceed slowly. We can take as much time as we can," the superintendent of police commanded in a meek voice. "Yes sir," the officers agreed. "And remember, we have to try to arrest him not encounter him. Arresting would be great as we can extract so much information from him that can help us to get whatever we want," the superintendent spoke and the others nodded. "So now, let's go," he signalled to all of them and then they spread around the boundaries of the entire mansion. Willing to attack it from all the sides and then slowly proceeded towards it. "Lucian. Can you give me your phone?" Nina asked, confusing him more. Lucian looked at him, confused but then passed the phone to her. Nina dialled Mohit's number and called her. "Hello, hello... Mohit,"
"Mom," Jasper sighed."As expected... You," Nina scoffed."Yes, me," Rebecca glared and then walked towards Nina.Nina stood in her place, although she was scared, she had decided that she won't let her fears win over her anymore, no matter what happens, she won't let that happen.Rebecca stood in front of Nina and snatched the hammer from her hands. Nina was looking at Rebecca with confusing eyes while Rebecca's eyes emitted pure anger.And the next moment, a slap landed on Nina's face."Mom," Jasper shrieked."Shut up, Jasper," Rebecca ordered his son to be quiet and Jasper obeyed.She then turned towards Nina along with her deadly glare."How dare you to harm my son," Rebecca roared."Because he deserves that," Nina confidently replied."Oh! He deserves that? Who are you to decide that? Answer me," Rebecca shouted again.Rebecca's voice had such aura that it could scare anyone present there. And because of that, Nina was scared, although she didn't let her fear take over her, she
"Lucian...no..." Nina cried out as Lucian pushed him into the bed.She was struggling hard to get out of his grip, but she was unable to. Lucian had already torn off the arms of her top, and he was trying to strip away her clothes. Nina was struggling, punching him, kicking him, pushing him just to get away from him, but she wasn't getting success in it. He proved himself to be much more strong than her."Lucian, leave me... You can't do this. Kill me...but don't do this to me please," Nina pleaded. Her cries echoed in the entire room but it seemed like madness rushed through his veins. He wasn't affected by her cries, all he could feel that he was unable to make her fall in love with him. He was unable to accept his defeat and that's why he wasn't going to let her go. He wanted Nina as his trophy and now, her consent didn't matter to him anymore. He just wanted her for him, completely."Lucian... leave," Nina shouted at the top of her voice. "Not till I make you mine," Lucian groan
"Who told you about this?" Lucian growled."I am Jasper's best friend. I know," Mohit replied "Mohit, remember one thing. If this turns out to be a lie, I would end your petty life with my hands and trust me, your death would be so torturous that would scare even the grim reaper," Lucian threatened in a coarse voice."Sir, even if I am Jasper's best friend, I have always remained loyal to you," Mohit answered in a trembling voice. "Great. Then answer me one more thing," Lucian taunted. Mohit looked at Lucian as he shivered in fear."Since when?" Lucian asked.Mohit went quiet. He didn't utter a word and looked at the ground."I asked... Since when?" Lucian's voice thundered in the entire house, leaving everyone shriek in fear."The day... The day after... after your wedding," Mohit answered in a trembling voice.Lucian looked at Mohit. He couldn't believe that all this has been happening since the day she entered this house. He couldn't believe the fact that she cheated on him from
The moment Christopher spat those words, a loud punch landed on his jaw, making him lose a couple of his teeth."Aah..." Christopher groaned in pain.But Lucian didn't give him chance to relieve the pain for a minute. He grabbed his hair and made him look at him. Christopher looked at Lucian, just to find Lucian's deadly glare."Don't you dare to spit a word against my brother," Lucian barked.Christopher chuckled. He knew his fate and that's why there was nothing for him to fear. He just thought about one thing, that somehow or other, he just has to break the family apart and that would lead Lucian to his destruction."So, I am saying you about... The infidelity of your... Wife... And all you... Care about... Is your mentally... Unstable brother," Christopher stammered.And the next moment, a punch landed on his gut.He groaned in pain, but Lucian yanked his hair yet again."I said not a word against my brother. He isn't mentally unstable. He was suffering but he has fought and now h
Nina then walked off to turn off the lights of her room. As the lights were off, the room went completely dark, not even a single beam of light was present there. It was the same darkness when she was sobbing and crying in her apartment out of fear, the night when she met Rebbeca for the first time."I will overcome my fear so that Rebecca has nothing to scare me off," Nina told herself.She strolled around the room in complete darkness, even if it was pure dark and she was scared way too much. Her breaths were heavy and she panted, her body was trembling and her eyes were wide open, trying to find a source of light. She somehow managed to reach the drawer near her bed and took out a candle and a matchbox. As she found the candle and the matchbox, she ignited the candle. The moment her eyes fell on that igniting flame, she trembled more.Her teeth were tittering due to extreme fear, but she had to overcome it. But that wasn't a common fear, the dark room and a single candle kept ign
The moment both of them heard the voice, they looked towards the door just to find Mrs Walker standing there.Mrs Walker entered the room and stood in front of Nina."Answer me, Nina. What is happening here?" Mrs Walker demanded."None of your business," Nina snapped back."Really?" She raised her eyebrows."Yeah," Nina rolled her eyes.And the next moment, a huge slap landed on Nina's face. "Nina," Jasper gasped.He immediately went near her and held her."Are you okay?" He softly asked.Nina nodded."Oh I would like you to stay away from my daughter, young man," Mrs Walker's voice was hateful enough."No, he won't," Nina snarled."And who are you to say that?" Mrs Walker barked."His girlfriend," Nina confidently replied.Jasper was shocked the moment Nina addressed herself as his girlfriend. There were a lot of things going on in his head and he couldn't say anything. He was just numb and surprised."Girlfriend?" Mrs Walker was shocked.And the next moment, one more slap landed on
